called regarding a reque;~t he had received from RepresentativeL James Cleveland
for comparative .figures on the percentage of Soviet defense expenditures
25X1A allocated to personnel costs. He said he had some recollection that a:n A ency
figure had appeared in public print. After checking with QER,
I suggested that Harrick direct Cleveland to page 32 of the Director's sanitized
testimony before the Joint Economic Committee dated 12 April 1974, but I also
suggested that Harrick ca.utio.n Cleveland about the pitfalls involved i.n attempting
to make comparisons of I7. S. and Soviet programs i.n this respect.

7, Talked to Marian Czarnecki, Chief of Staff,
House Foreign Affairs Committee, concerning the debriefing of the House
members included in the recent travel delegation to the PRC, Czarnecki saw
no reason why we should riot approach each of the members if we so desire,
In his opinion, Representatives Clement J. Zablocki (D, , Wis. ), Peter H. $,
Frelinghuysen (R. , N, J.) and William S. Broomfield (R, , Mich.) can be
expected to be cooperative,
I also invited Czarnecki to meet with the Senior Seminar on
25 October and talk to them about the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the
new oversight responsibilities of that Committee. Czarnecki has a conflict on
his schedule for that date, but if it can be worked out. he will meet with the
seminar, OTR, has been advised.
